What do they have in common? This:
95% of the time there is nothing going on. The biggest enemy is boredom. Days will go by without any significant work being performed. The good ones spend this time honing their skills, equipment and reflexes.
5% of the time is why they do their job. In this fraction of their time they are matching their wits with their subject in face of rapid change. Often every last ounce of their ability, skill and equipment is required of them in the shortest space of time. There is usually no margin for error. What they pour out in this sliver of time is what keeps them going. When it is on, it is make or break. When it is on, there are no excuses.
